The work on the individual volumes of the German Polish History Textbook can now be commenced. The next phase in this project can now be completed after publishers have been secured on both the German and the Polish side. The textbook is curricula conform and identical (except in language) and can be used in both countries as conventional textbooks for history lessons in Sekundarstufe I. The book coincides with the traditional curricula contents (from prehistory to the present day) with a focus on German-Polish perspectives. With the German-Polish History Textbook the Georg Eckert Institute took responsibility for the coordination of a project with great importance for German-Polish relations with regard to education and academic policies. Both sides thus show their willingness to allow the historical experiences of their neighbouring country to be addressed in history lessons and to intensify the scholarly dialogue on historical topics.
